POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WEDNESDAY.
MARY ANN McMEEHAN, (bond) was brought before the Bench in consequence of her having been given into custody for disorderly conduct—by her master; but as no one appeared to substantiate the charge, she was directed to be returned to service, which the young lady positively refused to do, stating “as how she had a most cantankerous Missus—a Molly of a master—a wast [sic] quantity of young ladies and gentlemen, who were too fond of clean clothes—and worser than all, no Sundays out to enjoy the society of the object of her affections—all which were grievances. The edicts of the Bench being like those of the Medes and Persians, irrevocable—as the prisoner still persisted in her refusal to return, she was sent to the Factory for one month for disobedience of orders.
